Teresa-

I live in Port Townsend, and we've recently had our 2 resident Jays return. They seem to nest somewhere nearby because, for the third year, they have reappeared in mid-summer with one or two fledglings. Now, it seems to be just the pair. 'Our' Steller's will disappear for a couple of months or so, but then return to our feeders. It's always a joy to see them again!
